Two E10´s in the Pyrenees. Thanks to @patdam for sorting out the route and taking me out of my comfort zone with the steep downhills.

Love the mud guards. Thats what I am after.

Can’t decide if you’re being sarcastic, there are so many mudguard haters out there?

 

[patdam]

of course, in australia they don't see necessity to mudguards

Not at all. Just ordered a set off ebay. "Mudhuggers" They look very much like yours. It does rain down here. We do have a rain forest or 2.

These are Mudrockers by SKS. Not as strong as Mudhuggers, but easier to fit as they use rubberised Velcro straps. Both do the job really well.

This my creation. Just put the mud huggers on. Do they look good? Absolutely not. Without a shadow of doubt the ugliest things I have ever fitted to a bike and I absolutely love em. Mine is not too look bling and fancy mine is to do and have fun. I hope people will just focus on the how ugly it looks and ignore what the bike actually is.
For me the idea is to make the bike look as ordinary as possible. All the blingy bikes around me can catch the eyes of thieves etc. You know what I am trying to say

I must say I was surprised to see the crud on the top of my mud guard. I thought it was supposed to be under the mud guard. The front guard was clean but the down tube was unexpectedly covered. My bum was clean and dry, so that was good.

Thanks.
I'm 165 cm and have concerns about frame size. I can't find any photos how dengfu looks in 15 size. Could you measure reach and ETT in mullet config? What bb height do you have?
(I'm asking this because see several messages about mistakes in geometry chart on dengfu site)

Reach is the only measurement I go by. It can't be changed regardless of what wheels you run. It is a fixed measurement. There is a formula on google search that will give your ideal reach based on your body measurement . You then simply buy the frame closest to the measurement. I personally prefer the reach to be either spot on or slightly longer. The 17" frame for me is slightly longer then the google formula for reach but has proven to be perfect.
